For anyone who missed 2010 Trinidad Carnival, especially those suffering through “Snowmageddon” up north, here’s a photo to warm your soul. The Caribbean’s most renowned party, Trinidad Carnival is a vibrant celebration of immense size, pageantry and unmitigated joy. Of course, the costumes are pretty nice too. Revelers leave little to the imagination, making this the Caribbean’s premiere event for people-watching. Some 40,000 people – many of them hard bodies like this week’s beauty – traveled to Trinidad for Carnival this year. The dates for 2011 Trinidad Carnival are March 7 and 8; see you there!
